i thoroughly enjoyed the painted bird, but after reading it and researching about kosinskis life, i learned that he did not write it at all.
this makes me wonder whether or not any of his books are actually worth reading. the only two that i dont care to read are pinball and being there, but his other ones seem interesting, especially steps.
I have found that in my opinion, the greatest voices in literature are the ones who are severely depressed and or addicted to drugs, so pls lemme know what ya think about kosinski.
